Shakespeare's cut of the profits of a performance was a percentage, so it depended how many tickets were sold. The gross take from a performance might be as much as 15 pounds, but Henslowe's diary suggests that it was more often less than five pounds, and often three. From this, hired actors had to be paid their wage and accounts for feeding the apprentices, repairing the costumes, buying new scripts and props and so on had to be paid. From what was left over, Shakespeare got a percentage depending on how many partners there were in the company at the time. Sometimes it was about 12.5%. Of course, there was also his share of the net profit of the theatre buildings, and rents on his other properties and so on which also contributed to his income.
